What do you think of my English handwriting?
I'm not a native English speaker, so I just wonder what native English speaker would think of my handwriting!
American English vs British English
Seems like you can't go wrong if you write judgment without E.
Are there two seperate names for the red and the blue part or is both called the "elbow"?
As far as I know, only the (in this image) blue circled part is called the elbow. At least in my native language (german) both parts have seperate names: *Ellenbogen* (blue) and *Armbeuge* (red). So my questions are: does the english language differenciate between these things? And if that's the case, what is the red circled part called?
Bananas = insane
Guys, is this even real? How is common this in your speech? It seems too silly to me.
Practice English with Me!
Hey guys, I'm born and raised in the US, my favorite subject in school was English, particularly grammar, and I've always been interested in some form of teaching. Now, I'm not saying I will teach you with a curriculum but I'm more than open to having an hour long conversation with you in English and give you some pointers if you want. It can even become a weekly thing if you think it's beneficial enough. This is a new thing for me so I'm kindly asking for some patience lol. It's free btw!!
Is "I says" ever correct?
I have an American friend who's a native speaker. But when he retells conversations, he often says things like: > "He says..., and I says..., and then he says..." Why does he say "I says"? Is this some kind of dialect or just informal/slang speech? Also, how common is this? Is it something you often hear from native speakers?
How do pupils address a female high school teacher?
Especially a middle aged, married one. Ideally, I am looking for the term in the UK (but in the US is also fine). I understood that the term "Miss" was used in the past, is this still used? In my own language, it doesn't feel right to call a married, middle-aged lady a "Miss".
Difference between Grey and Gray.

What is the hardest English dialect for you to understand?
I am curious, what dialects/accents do English learners find the most difficult to understand? I am a native speaker but the Baltimore accent is difficult for me to understand. What about you guys?
"Loves to eat" and "Loves eating". What's the difference?
